Summary:

Overton County Schools serves 2,924 students across 7 schools in rural Tennessee — 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school — and the district currently ranks 85th out of 141 Tennessee districts, placing it in the 40th percentile with a 2-star rating. No school in the district earned more than 3 stars in 2025–26, and the district as a whole trails state averages in math (37.2% vs. 43.0%) and English language arts (35.7% vs. 40.6%), while essentially matching the state in science.

The clear bright spot is Rickman Elementary School, which ranks in the 62nd percentile (3 stars) and has by far the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at just 8.7%, compared to a district average of 17.8%. Rickman also scores above state averages in science and social studies. Livingston Academy, the district's only high school, posts a strong 91.6% graduation rate and beats the state in Biology I and Algebra I, but only 6.3% of its students are proficient in US History — a staggering 36-point gap from the state average. Wilson Elementary School also reaches the 62nd percentile but spends the most per student ($16,325) while struggling in ELA, especially in 8th grade where proficiency is just 9.1%. At the other end, A H Roberts Elementary School is the district's only 1-star school, with math proficiency at just 18.3% and chronic absenteeism at 22.1%.

Several patterns stand out. Low chronic absenteeism correlates strongly with better results, while high spending does not guarantee outcomes — Rickman spends only $10,608 per student yet outperforms schools spending thousands more. Middle grades are a district-wide soft spot, with Livingston Middle School dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating and lagging in both math and ELA. Allons Elementary School shows extreme grade-level swings, from 68.4% proficiency in 4th-grade math to just 18.2% in 6th-grade math, likely reflecting small cohorts. Hilham Elementary School sits in the 36th percentile with math and ELA slightly below district averages. For parents, the key takeaways are that Rickman is the strongest all-around elementary option, Livingston Academy offers solid graduation outcomes but has major subject-area gaps, and the district's biggest opportunities lie in improving middle-grade literacy, math instruction, and attendance.
